But, if I'm allowed one more question...I'm just thinking of this now: how long do you generally allow the cakes to cool before you remove them?

For my metal pans, I use Pam with Flour or Baker's Joy spray. It is an non-stick spray with added flour. I don't use regular Pam. If I'm out of Pam with Flour, I'll grease and flour the pans generously. If I'm making a chocolate cake, I'll grease and "flour" with cocoa powder. If the pan is ornate, I use a pastry brush to grease all the grooves. But my first choice is always Pam with Flour b/c it is quick and easy. I also spray it right before the batter goes into the pan...not earlier. Hope this helps - mary the food librarianThe Food Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964596880945435097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-30095192370780094812010-04-02T20:16:29.580-07:002010-04-02T20:16:29.580-07:00Mmm I love coconut and coconut strands!

Given the depth of your emotions on the subject...<br /><br />And here's another thing. What in the name of all that is good am I doing wrong with my silicone bundt and other forms (loaf, etc)? Why do mine stick half the time to the pan? Is there some insider's trick I am unaware of? I only have this kind of problem with the ornate pans, like the one you used. Which is GORGEOUS, by the way...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437876558716264896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-64978754259763147062010-04-01T20:52:03.413-07:002010-04-01T20:52:03.413-07:00well, it looks great.
